Description
1936 Type One Nickel, PR68
Superb Satin Finish Example
1936 5C Type One -- Satin Finish PR68 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The
Mint's 1936 resumption of proof coinage included two finishes for
the Buffalo nickel: Satin finish proofs were the first issued,
followed by brilliant proofs. Today's collectors view them as
separate varieties, and seek one of each format. The Superb Gem
quality of this Satin proof is amazing, with entrancing multicolor
toning and essentially flawless surfaces. Rainbow hues at the
borders yield to lemon-yellow, pale-ivory, and lilac-gray centers.
Fulsome mint luster radiates from the basined fields,
counterbalanced by fully struck devices that sharply define James
Earle Fraser's inimitable design. PCGS reports just two numerically
finer Satin proofs, plus three Plus-graded pieces, although we can
hardly imagine a finer example than this one from the Simpson
Collection. Population: 56 in 68 (4 in 68+), 2 finer
(8/20).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 278X, PCGS# 3994, Greysheet# 3155)
Weight: 5.00 grams
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
